Ok I hope my issue is an easy one. I fallowed the guid all worked awsome on several of my computers. One in paticulare with duel monitors and graphics cards is kind of hosed. In adjusting things after the install I tried twin view mode and restarted, thats when things didnt work out well. Gnome now goes into fallback mode, and even though I've removed one of the monitors and tried to reconfigure with "nvidia-settings" it wont seem to fix the issue of the system being stuck in twin view and gnome in fall back mode. Does any one have any ideas to assist. Relative info below.

It's crazy. Nouveau autodetects and works almost perfectly bar the screen tearing when I try to play hi-res (1080p) videos ... but Nvidia, with all the coding and experience of a graphics card manufacturer, is unable to auto detect a simple screen resolution. I'ts got me stumped.

I'm down to editing xorg.conf so that when I try to install the nvidia drivers again, at least I can edit it manually to see if it works.

Now, a working nvidia xorg.conf anyone. Please post them so I can see what is going on with those who do have nvidia drivers working on their system.

I'm running Nouveau again if anyone wants to know.

Suggestions please. It's got to be something I'm doing wrong.

My monitor does have trouble with EDID... like it just doesn't give them. It's a Korean Yamakasi Catleap.

I just want to imput the screen res manually. A working xorg I can copy anyone?

AFAIK (which isn't much) xrandr doesn't work properly with the NVIDIA drivers (it doesn't have all the required features or something like that).
As you said, your monitor didn't send any info so there's no "Monitor" section in your Xorg.conf
You can create one by checking your monitor's manual for the supported resolution/refresh rate and then generating a modeline with the cvt command.
Check this post http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpo...0&postcount=11 but don't put the last "Mode" line he put there, only the "Modeline".
Other simpler approach you may want to try before is just add to the "Screen" section, before 'nvidia-auto-select' another mode like '1600x900_60 +0+0'* (would be "1600x900_60 +0+0;nvidia-auto-select").
* a resolution/refresh rate you know your monitor supports (check the manual).

How do I tell if my opengl/glx is enabled because it is doesn't show up on my nvidia-settings?
Oh and is it safe to update now that my driver is properly installer according to this guide?
Because I know updates can sometimes screw up the drivers.

Theirs another part but they are limitations on how many character I can post
It's okay for anything I need heavy graphics for i'll use ubuntu11.10 till I figure out how to fix it, that are or ill downgrade to a earlier viable fedora.
That's why I put that version ubuntu on my system cause I knew the graphic driver worked.
